Well, Peter Case wrote the song. I've never understood why he isn't more famous. I'm a big fan. We need a list of great rockers who are still with us. Sly Stone, for instance.

I am going to bake one of Mom's special squash pies just so I can hurl it at you.

When I was little, Mom used to make both squash pie and pumpkin pie. I didn't like squash pie because I didn't like squash. So Mom only made "pumpkin" pie. Now, I actually prefer squash pie to pumpkin pie.

You are the man whose Mom introduced squash pie to the whole world, Quis. My Mom used to make an amazing mocha cream pie (chocolate filling topped w/coffee cream) , with a walnut crust. I swear, there was a local cafe' which fixed the same dessert for years. I almost cried when they discontinued it. Now the cafe' has succumbed to condo-mania, too.

another dessert Mom used to make (I've mentioned it here before) is lemon meringue cake. A chocolate sheet cake with the lemon filling and meringue. Mom was a great baker

I don't know how I'd feel about chocolate and lemon combined. Then again, I love chocolate plus orange flavor, so... maybe?

When I was a kid, we were swimming in a neighbor's pool. She came out and gave us kids some chocolate chip cookies and lemonade. I thought "Lemonade & chocolate chip cookies? Milk would be better." But then I tasted the two together and is was great.

I remember playing in a neighbour's pool. No, wait... it had been raining. It was just a big puddle. Things always seem bigger when you're a kid...

I was just waiting at the bus stop with a Mom who had to stop her daughter from splashing in all the puddles because, "You wanted to wear the flowered shoes and not the puddle shoes." (ie-- boots)

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say Please share my umbrella Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it Wind and rain and shine That umbrella, we employed it By August, she was mine
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought Other people stared as if we were both quite insane Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

I'm guessing a lot of umbrellas met their untimely end last Friday during our lovely windstorm. Hopefully the budding romances all made it through, though.

I gave up with brollies years ago, and now just wear a firmly secured hat. I remember getting a tiny, expensive, telescopic brolly only for it to not make it past its first outing in a breeze. Bah!

Brollies sounds to my Yankee ears like it should be a savory snack with broccoli in it, or on it.
I always imagined that the Penguin must have inherited a warehouse full of umbrellas in young adulthood, and that was the real reason he chose his particular villain identity.

Ethel Merman starred as Lola Lasagne and loved parasols and teamed up with the Penguin.

Is everything coming up roses still good if that's not what you planted and it really doesn't go with the rest of your garden?

I think roses are kind of like denim. They go with everything. Though I only have the roses that came with the house, I admit. If every other house on the planet already has them, I can get my fix while other people do all the work. So... y'know. I'm more into peonies, myself. I need to figure out more places in my yard to plant them. My current ones are all coming up nicely, but it probably won't be a "boom" year for the flowers. I didn't tend to them in the Fall like I should have.

I've left my roses alone, apart form some basic support, over the last few years. I was getting big blooms right into winter. So I let them get on with it. After this summer, I'll probably have to cut them back or find another way of supporting them (not like a trust fund, something gardening )

The poppies outside our window keep wilting... but they always manage to recover after a little water

Our roses always end up with black spot fungus and mealy bugs. Ick! We try to be organic and use the soaps and such but by August they are all stems.
